A 35-year-old Jerusalem Arab was shot and killed and four others were wounded on Sunday on a major highway near Jerusalem in what security officials believe to be a terror attack. The shooters apparently fled to Ramallah and a pile of bullet shells were later found in the area. In the past, Palestinian terrorists have mistaken Arabs for Jews traveling in vehicles with Israeli license plates. Initial investigations reveal that a Palestinian taxi picked up the assailants after they opened fire and headed towards Ramallah. Investigators are still looking into the motives of the attack and have yet to rule out family infighting.
